Barnes Metal Lathe's and No 4

An over view of all lathes made by W.F.Barnes

Lathe No. 4
7-inch Swing
This lathe is designed for turning both wood and iron and for boring, drilling,
'polishing, etc. It is a desirable tool for small work and has many important
advantages in the construction and arrangement of its parts.
It swing.s 7 inches and takes 20 inches between centers. It has our patent velocipede
foot power, which is the best power ever applied to a foot-driven lathe.
The speed can be varied from 1,000 to 2,000 revolutions per minute, and the
motion can be started, stopped or reversed instantly at the will of the operator.
Greater power can be applied on the work than with any old-style foot power
and with greater ease. The lathe is made entirely of iron and steel. The bed is
solid and has V-shaped projections over which the head and tail stocks and hand
and slide rests are fitted. The lead screw for the carriage is operated by hand;
by it the carriage can be traveled 20 inches, the entire distance between centers.
The carriage can be engaged or disengaged instantly from the lead screw. The
cross feed way on which the tool post moves can be set at any desired angle for
taper turning and boring. The tail stock can be moved and set at any point
desired b}- the simjjle turning of the hand wheel; or it can be taken off entirely,
thus leaving the bed free for face-plate or chuck work. The head stock spindle
is hollow, size of hole inch. The head stock spindle has taper bearings and
is capable of very nice adjustment. The tail stock center is self-discharging.
The price of the lathe is $50.00, this includes face plate, two pointed centers
and one spur center, hand rest, wrenches and necessary belting, as shown in cut.
The lathe weighs 210 pounds.
Boxed, ready for shipment, 26.'5 pounds.
The above cut represents a countershaft for Nos. 4 and 43^ Lathes, (except
cone has 3 steps only.)
The pulleys on countershaft are 7x2 inches and should be speeded 250
revolutions.
Price of countershaft $15.00.
We can furnish lathe with countershaft in place of foot power at same price
as with foot power.
